We’ve been invited to speak again at QCon London. Here’s the abstract for our session:
Product Development in the Land of the Free
The Test-driven Organization
Creating and sustaining a ‘system’ for effective product development is neither easy nor commonplace. If we were to pull together the lessons we’ve learned from eXtreme Programming and Scrum with systems approaches such as Lean Thinking and the Theory of Constraints to build such a ‘system’ what would it look like? Where would we start? How would we organize ourselves? And what would be our approach?
The fact that so many information technology projects are still failing tells us that we should be doing something very different. This session will explore some of the things we’ve been doing beyond the agile comfort zone to improve the effectiveness and throughput of product development and realize business agility.
